The purpose of this website is to provide current and former residents with accurate information regarding the soil located at the Marine Corps family housing on Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay. We want to ensure that residents are informed and can review the facts firsthand.

The majority of the family housing on Marine Corps Base Hawaii is owned by Ohana Military Communities, LLC (“Ohana”). Ohana is a private-public partnership that was formed in 2004 by the Department of the Navy and Hawai‘i Military Communities, LLC. The venture was formed as part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative for the purpose of owning, renovating, and in many instances rebuilding, thousands of aging military housing units in Hawai‘i. From 2006 to 2016, the homes owned by Ohana were managed by Forest City Residential Management, Inc. In February 2016, Forest City Enterprises, Inc. sold all of its military housing interests to Hunt Companies, Inc. The sale involved approximately 14,500 housing units at bases in Hawaii, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Washington, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Colorado, and was not related to any issues at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Following the sale, the homes on Marine Corps Base Hawaii have been managed by Hunt Military Communities Management, LLC.
